Not getting newest item

[yous00]

Hi, Im making a Discord bot that automaticly posts when there is a csgo update. I made it so it checks every minute if there is an update. but for some reason the parser just will not get the latest update. When trying the same code in Npm RunKit it does give the latest item. here is a link to what should work LINK.
I really do not know what I am doing wrong.

Sounds like a caching issue. You can try setting the HTTP header Cache-Control: no-cache

Info on setting headers for parseURL here: https://github.com/bobby-brennan/rss-parser#headers

@rbren Cache-Control: no-cache option is not there in headers.
Source code shows only Accept and User-Agent are allowed inside headers.
rss-parse version 3.12.0

You can pass in any headers you want with options.headers. We will insert a default Accept and User-Agent if they are not specified.

LMK if there's a bug here, but that's what I'm seeing in the source code.

@rbren lost the track for few months..
Here is the code ss. It shows error in type-script when I try to add Cache-Control.

Code:

this.rssParser = new Parser({
      headers: {
        Accept: 'application/rss+xml, application/xml, text/xml',
        'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
      },
    });

error:

Type '{ Accept: string; 'Cache-Control': string; }' is not assignable to type 'Headers'.
  Object literal may only specify known properties, and ''Cache-Control'' does not exist in type 'Headers'.ts(2322)
index.d.ts(20, 14): The expected type comes from property 'headers' which is declared here on type 'ParserOptions<{ [key: string]: any; }, { [key: string]: any; }>'

hmm...maybe we need to update the type definitions

I most of the times get cached response. Usually the newest episodes/updates appear only after 2nd or 3rd refresh. Is there any other work around to get non-cached data by the time new update is rolled out?

you can try issuing the HTTP request yourself, without rss-parser. Then you can use parseXML to parse it.
